Ooooohhhhhoohhhhh my achin feet! But I had fun! After work today, I came home, changed clothes, and drove down to the North Springs MARTA station to catch a train downtown for Downtown Rocks and the chance to see Cake FREEEE BABBBYYY!!! Awesome concert and … Read More

Largely a quiet weekend. We had a good week of rain. It’s been kind of gray and lazy but I hope the periods of rain continue. My plants need the rain! Saturday I got one of my friends to go to the comic shop … Read More

Have been reading posts to the message board at Atlanta Comicon and just saw a posting for a review of the Con along with photos. I took some digital photos myself, but not too many. Unlike DragonCon where there’s tons of eye candy and … Read More

I had every intention of posting a blow-by-blow account of my weekend at Atlanta Comicon, however I don’t think I would know where to begin. From beginning to end, I had a good time. Friday night was a simple gathering at one of the … Read More

Just got home from Night #2 of Atlanta Comicon. So far, I’ve had a great time. I’ve hung out with some neat people and got some cool stuff. All in all a first rate weekend, but I’m entirely too tired to adequately document tonight. … Read More

Not much news on my personal front. However, I found out Easter day that my grandmother was in the hospital again and was likely to go into a nursing home. That happenned yesterday. I guess we all saw it coming. She’s 91 years old … Read More

I read something similar to this about a year ago when I moved to Alpharetta. Although I have an Alpharetta address, I technically live in unicorporated Fulton County. It’s kind of funny. I grew up inside the city limits of Montezuma, GA. My entire … Read More

Nothing much happenned this weekend. I managed to do some small amount of housework and almost put the living room back together afterwards. I guess I’ll do some more the next few nights since I got so little done otherwise. I spent a lot … Read More

Week three of training for my new job – at least the formal training. I’m certain the on-the-job variety will continue for awhile. I’m kind of glad that the formal variety is nearly over. Then again, I don’t think I’d be nearly so tired … Read More

Been an eventful couple of months. I got a new position at Equifax, where I’ve worked the past three years. I just changed departments. In some ways, I’m starting over, but going there with the knowledge I have, it’s not a total new start. … Read More

First post of the new year. Nothing major to report on. Christmas was a pleasant time. I had a few days to myself here before going home to the family. Spent a few days with my grandmother, Aunt, & Uncle in Dothan, AL. Got … Read More

Not much going on tonight. I should probably go to bed soon. I was up very late last night as I left work at 12:30am along with a couple of co-workers I’d stayed behind to help get a project out of a ditch for. … Read More

Celebrated my grandmother’s 91st birthday on Saturday. Her birthday was actually yesterday (the 8th), but our family gathering was Saturday. Had some great aunts and uncles there and a few distant cousins. Only a couple of my first cousins were there, Tim, with his … Read More

I haven’t posted anything in quite awhile. The time I normally used to post messages has been taken up e-mailing a new friend, Melanie, who I met last night at the Starbucks in the Barnes & Noble in Alpharetta. We talked for hours. I’m … Read More

“Tonight, we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom. Our grief has turned to anger and anger to resolution. Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done.” “We have seen their … Read More

Just finished my walk this evening and am now guzzling water. Not much new at work today, which isn’t per se a bad thing. The rest of this week may be a little busier than last but not a big deal I suppose. I … Read More

Not much news today at all. Got back to Atlanta just before rush hour hit and got me and the cats settled back in. The fish were very glad to see me as the weekend feed was all but gone. I tried out a … Read More

Many days without an update but I’ve been relaxing at home with my parents. Friday my Mom and I went to Macon, Warner Robins and Byron and spent too much money shopping. Primarily I got stuff for around my house, but I also got … Read More

What do you say about today?? I don’t think that I or any of us will forget the attacks on New York and DC today. I’ve felt like I was living in a dream all day. We all sat around today and listened to … Read More

More or less just got back in from this evening’s walk. I didn’t end up going to Lowe’s this afternoon. I got a call just as I was ready to leave this afternoon and it was raining so I figured I might as well … Read More

Didn’t post anything yesterday but didn’t miss telling much. I had an uneventful day. I read the paper and watched some TV before going out for a little shopping. I had to go by Lowe’s to pick up some pine bark mulch for my … Read More

Just cooling down from an hour long walk tonight. It’s been an uneventful day. I set the alarm to get up in time this morning to jumble through my VHS tapes and find one that didn’t have anything on it or nothing I wanted … Read More

Nearly bed time. Been pleasantly quiet at work which is nice for a change. I couldn’t handle the slow pace as a rule, but I’m not going to cry over it either for a bit. Got home around 4:30pm today and caught up with … Read More

Had an awful headache this evening but three tylenols and a lot of water later and it’s subsided quite a bit. Finished the last of my Superboy Comics this morning over breakfast. Pulled out my own collection last night and discovered that I only … Read More

Got a fair bit done today. I slept late today, but managed to get up in time to be comfortably awake when the pest control guy got here. Afterwards, I got my Blazer’s oil changed and tires rotated. Granted I’m sure there are lots … Read More

The past few days are a blurr. I never got home before 1am and was always back the next morning! Maybe next year I will check into splitting a room with someone, definitely would have been nice not to have to remind myself of … Read More

Day One of DragonCon 2001 ended last night. Was a long day of course! Drove to the airport to pick up Brandy and her friends, Jan and Karilyn, yesterday morning. I was late and, of course, their plane was early, but it worked out … Read More

The weekend came and went. Had a semi-enjoyable time in Dallas. Granted it was work, but it was nice to escape my desk for awhile. Got little accomplished in the office today. Just wanted to spend some time at home so bad I could … Read More

Not time to say much this morning. I fly to Dallas this afternoon for an audit with our customer tomorrow. There’s a handfull of us from Equifax coming as well as a couple from Citigroup in NY (who bought our old customer). We’re going … Read More

Been a LONG week at work and I know I need to go in tomorrow to catch up on some of my neglected work. I watched my Road Trip DVD tonight (finally)! Definitely a nice way to wind down the week! Wish I’d come … Read More

Well, this is my first post. I’m just testing out blogger to see if it will do what I want it to. It’s been a long week and I brought work home with me. I’m still getting over a touch of poison ivy so … Read More
